This is the official pod for all cricket tragics. From the trauma of the 90s to the heights of the Noughties, if you are a cricket fan, this is the pod for you. Also, if you love the niche and the obscure discussions around cricket (color of TV graphics in the 90s, broadcast theme music), this is also the pod for you. This is as much the pod for a Noel David fan as it is for an ABD fan!

Talking Sri Lankan Cricket with Andrew Fidel Fernando
In the aftermath of Sri Lanka's stunning rearguard action in the 2nd test of the recently concluded series, it was only fitting to get the voice of Sri Lankan cricket - Andrew Fidel Fernando on the pod!
Richa, Sarthak and Aditya speak to Fidel about a host of topics.
From Big Dickwella Energy, his feel for the game, school cricket, structure, administration, and underrated characters.
Sri Lanka remains an integral part of Cricket and there is no one quite like Fidel to help us understand their perspective.
You can follow him on Twitter (https://x.com/afidelf), read his work on Cricinfo (https://www.cricinfo.com/author/andrew-fidel-fernando-335) and of course please buy his excellent book - Upon A Sleepless Isle (https://www.amazon.in/Upon-Sleepless-Isle-Travels-Trishaw/dp/9395624450)
